Rob Pizem · Answer

How do I stay motivated and focused during a long climb? Well, I don't get on a long climb unless I want to do it badly. Like, I know that I'll have trained for it, I'll have gotten as much information about it as possible. I'll be mentally prepared for the big day before I go. I'll make sure that I've, you know, taken the rest that I needed and the training that I've needed. So when I get on that big climb, all the motivation's kind of been for the time before it. And when I'm there, now it's just time to go ahead and execute and do my best and try to have as much fun as I can while getting on that big long climb. So the focus is there because I'm finally doing it. The motivation is there because, man, I don't want to fall short. Not that it affects me or my life in any way, but the motivation is all that preparation work, and then when you get to do it, it's just pure joy.
